The Codex of adventure gaming forums is the Codex adventure gaming forum, obviously. 
AdventureGamers' Myst-like reviews have been surprisingly decent and non-popamole iirc. I guess a lot of that depends on the reviewer; plus, perhaps Myst-likes are generally just too much of a niche to be of interest to popamole reviewers.

So they wasted three years making a wannabe Telltale game to get that Telltale money but instead the game flopped and was ignored or unnoticed by the Telltale crowd? Not surprised.
To my knowledge the only game to succeed in getting the Telltale money is Life Is Strange. Everything else like King's Quest or Silence falls by the wayside because those companies completely misjudge why Telltale games are popular (licensed IPs) and wrongly assume that people play those games because of the minimal challenge (like QTE). Putting QTE in your game and removing thoughtful gameplay will not guarantee success - quite the opposite in fact. It repels people wanting a more challenging, involving game and unless there's a big IP or unique gimmick (like time rewind in Life Is Strange) nobody will notice or care about yet another shallow cinematic modern adventure.

Dude has made a 8 Minute Video about adventure games without once using the word puzzle... The Video is grotesque in its idiocy.
